5 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (Mar 4)
Ups...
5. Big Men Throw Down
Meanwhile, he knew exactly what he'd get from Keith Lee vs. JD Drake.
Drake was in the jobber spot, obviously, but he's a big enough dude that it looked impressive when Keith was chucking him around. Besides, Lee is a very giving worker (even during squashes), and that made their scrap more entertaining than it perhaps had any right to be.
Lee mixing it with Team Taz is also the right call. Post-Revolution, Keith vs. Powerhouse Hobbs should be very, very good indeed; a big man vs. big man clash like that is also something different for AEW, and could be a game changing moment for Hobbs' company career.
Keith gave Drake just enough that it meant something when he beat the guy. Bring on Lee vs. Hobbs and possibly Lee vs. Wardlow in the future. Both those matches must be on Tony Khan's bucket list for the ex-WWE man.
